About Grass Seed

If the grass in your lawn has thinned out in sections or you’ve discovered worn down patches, simply repair these areas with grass seed and consistent watering. There are several types of lawn grass seed to choose from. So once you’ve chosen the texture you’d prefer, evaluate the level of sun the treatment area will be exposed to. From there you can determine if you’ll need shade grass seed or seed formulated to withstand full sun exposure.

Planting lawn grass seed is relatively simple. One of the most significant factors contributing to your success is preparing the soil ahead of time. Use a tiller to turn soil and then apply a layer of nutrient-rich top soil where you’ll be planting the grass seed. Make sure the ground is level before covering the area with seed.

Upon laying the seed, it can help to slightly rake it into the ground. Then, use a garden hose or sprinkling can to water the entire area from the start and then regularly thereafter – especially if you live in a dry climate.
